Thank you Mr.Pool for allowing Ian to do the videos and you sir do a great job filming ,this by far is the best sawing channel on UA-cam, thanks for the video keep them coming
Thank you Mr. Cool for letting your son take this video. I enjoy his honesty, and Spirt with he works the mill! I'm viewing from east central Alberta, Canada
I’d like to say how much I appreciate Ian’s dad for allowing his son to take the time out of a busy days work to deliver us such great videos. We all appreciate it Mr Poole. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
I say thank you to you, dad and your grandad for starting the mill. Also a thanks to Clint, C&C Equipment for introducing your channel to me. FYI the saw is the perfect tone to drown my tinnitus out when I can't get to sleep👍
Father and Son business is the way that our country was founded thank you for sharing your videos with us. I pray that you will be here for many years to come.
Good video 👍 I think is great your dad allows for filming of your operation. I noticed a definite change in "tone" on that last log of the video. Maybe it's just me but something sounded different.
I have a quesition for you, What is the purpuse of De-Barking and what do you do with the bark you take off? And these big Red Oak Boards and other planks you cut what are they all used for? And I have No Idea what you are talking about when you say that you are cutting 6/4 or 5/4, Yeah I don't know much about that stuff even though i'm 65 years old. And Thank You Mr. Pool for letting your boy give us great video's.
Debarking cleans the log of dirt, rocks,ice and grit as well as bark. A clean log doesn't dull the headsaw as much. The bark is sold to production mulch companies. Most of the red oak is sold to lumber concentration yards and make into flooring . Some goes to trailer decking. Some is local individuals and their projects. The 6/4 ,5/4, refers to the thickness of the lumber being cut. It is measured in 1/4 inch thicknesses, 4/4 equals one inch and so on. Hope this answers your questions
@@KevinPool-k1r Thank you for that explanation, That gives me more into the Saw Mills workings. And to be honest, it has to be one of the best answers I have gotten so far.
Love your vertical edger and too saw Ian. Keep up the good work!! You should talk about how much more good wood you get out of large logs having the too saw!! You don’t cut beveled stop-sign boards!!
@@shanehumphrey4827 I appreciate it!! And yes you’re 100% correct about the yield. Not to mention the loss of time. However, I’m not wanting to talk about what the other channels do😂
Those are amazing logs. Are these the best ones you saved from that big delivery you received a few weeks ago? How long has you dad owned the mill ?? How old is your dad ? I'll be 72 on Saturday. It's nice he let's you shoot the UA-cam videos during production.
Ian, do you ever quarter saw lumber? It looks like you always are just plain sawing the logs. I am getting into woodworking as I am retiring soon and would like to purchase a variety of species using various grain cuts.
I think the edgers make quarter sawing very difficult or impossible. Quarter sawing is very labor and time intensive. That is part of the reason it's sooo pricey.
Hi Ian love the vids, and the grain in the timber. What size is your rip saw and is it still the f type as it runs alot truer than the b type. Like trying to work out your ripping process . And yhanksto your father to allow you to run the mill and to do the vids. By the eay who's holding the camera as theh do a great job in thd dust and thank you for the vids
Sehr gut dargestellter Sägeprozess. Unterliegt die Breite der Bretter einer bestimmten Verkaufsgröße oder wählen sie die eigenständig aus. Gleiches gilt für die Dicke der Bretter. Sie haben eine gut funktionierte Sägemühle. Viel Erfolg 2025
Just a comment I’d like to get off my chest. I worked in some pretty big commercial, industrial mills in north western Canada and we never ever called our lumber by saying 6 quarters or whatever. Either they were 2x4 s or 2 x8 s or whatever. I know that Americans use this formula but not where I come from. Just saying!😉
That would be fine if that's all we made. We call our 2x4 s and 2x8 s just that 2x4,2x8. However manufacturing different thicknesses requires a little more detail thus we use the fractions.
@ well to be honest, I can remember way back in the 1960s when we were shipping our lumber to Chicago it used to be that a 2x4 and 2x6 for example were actually 1x3/4x3x3/4. Finished. And we had to change all our settings so that the end piece is what it is today. 1/1/2 x 3/50 for a 2x4. Still never talked about 1/4 sawing. 😁🤪
Thank you Mr. Pool . As a woodworker I appreciate the videos.

@@michael_3985 we appreciate your kind words!! Thank you for actively tuning and watching:)
Thanks Mr. Poole(sic) and all involved. I find the operation of your mill compelling and appreciate the effort it takes to make these videos! Ray
We appreciate it sir! Thank you for commenting:)
If only all tools worked this smoothly. A true engineering marvel!
A lot of things happening correctly here!

@@eladfitz5673 it makes me happy to know that the tone helps you sleep!!!
We appreciate the kind words.
My grandpa started the business back in 1973:)
I really enjoy watching this sawmill in action. I like to thank you and the owner for showing.
Thank you for slowing the video down. I enjoy watching them.

We’re rolling into the year strong!
God bless:)
Good looking lumber, thanks!
Thank you Mr
Thank you! 😉
Make sure to share the video!!
Well done Ian, some of us refer to you as the Helmsburglar!
I sure wish I had a sawmill. Thanks for sharing and thanks to Mr. Pool for allowing.
Pool 😊
Beautiful clear red oak cabinet grade lumber thanks for sharing.
My friend and I have voted helmsburg sawmill best sounding circle saw on UA-cam 😊❤🙏
This made me smile❤️ we greatly appreciate it:) it’ll keep getting better with support like yours
Thank you Mr. Poole.
Nice Ian Ty

How old is your dad ? I'll be 72 on Saturday.
It's nice he let's you shoot the UA-cam videos during production.
@@jerrydonaldson3269 he’s 55! And yes they are the best red oak of the bath. The best poplar with be coming up soon!
Thanks to you pop for letting you video these great sawmill episodes 👍👍👍
@@BarrySnipes-q8h thank you!
Great looking lumber! The new lights really make a difference. How is your head after a day of steady sawing? I bet the skull cramps have eased up.
What I find astonishing is that the horizontal saws cut the wood without leaving any mark on the next board to be cut.
Thank the kerf width of the main blade for that. The edgers aren't in as deep as the far side of the saw. But that is a careful adjustment.
Yeah I'd like to see a video of it I think it's a beautiful house
@@tomzerbyjr9783 I’ll get one up at some point regardless
Cut some beautiful lumber, and big
Be awesome to see you work at full speed

@@marksmith4627 the edgers only allow for 7” of clearance!
Very good
Did you ever get your house finished yet
@@tomzerbyjr9783 the work done comes and goes in waves. It’s not finished yet
Thanks to Mr Pool. 😃
I presume that is a weight scale on the travel???
That’s a block size indicator!

How are the cants that you saw used i/e what is made from them? Thank you, Mr., Pool,
They are ripped down and turned into pallets by the buyer
@@Helmsburgsawmill thank you
This is regular cutting speed ??
@@shanehumphrey4827 yes sir
Oi prezado amigo, o que é feito com as aparas da madeira, ou os retalhos??? Abraço do Brasil.
Grind them into mulch
Why would I thank him? You're doing the videos for you man. I don't see a dime from this.
I would hate to be the guy wrestling 16 ft red oak boards around. Nice logs buddy.
I’ve put a couple of my exercise feats on here😂 I was stacking them 8/4 at 16 years old! It’ll make you strong!
Sehr gut dargestellter Sägeprozess. Unterliegt die Breite der Bretter einer bestimmten Verkaufsgröße oder wählen sie die eigenständig aus. Gleiches gilt für die Dicke der Bretter. Sie haben eine gut funktionierte Sägemühle. Viel Erfolg 2025
I’m just going for maximum width when I’m sawing grade lumber. The buyer asks for a certain thickness depending on the species.
And thank you!
Just a comment I’d like to get off my chest. I worked in some pretty big commercial, industrial mills in north western Canada and we never ever called our lumber by saying 6 quarters or whatever.
